Sugaring for Athletes

an insulating layer for the body (which, depending on the amount of hair, can help with keeping cool)

This allows:

tighter fit for padding and clothing

better concentration and focus

longer endurance

reduced friction

We have found that those with thick, curly hair see the most noticeable results. The thick roots hold sweat to the skin and increase chafing. Curly hair is more prone to ingrown hairs.

Some athletes have tried dealing with their hair by shaving. This increases the chance of ingrowns and the roots still hold moisture to the skin contributing to sweating and chafing.

Sugaring is often compared to waxing, but has several dramatic advantages:

LESS painful

less inflammation and bleeding

no risk of removing skin (particularly from areas with thin skin [AKA the balls])

We can Sugar nearly any area of the body. The process is somewhat painful (you're removing hair by the roots) but the results are amazing; Most people find that the benefits far outweigh the discomfort.
